3. Hazards Identification

Emergency Overview
DANGER! Flammable, high-pressure gas. May form explosive mixture with air. Can cause rapid
suffocation. May cause dizziness and drowsiness. Self-contained breathing apparatus may be
required by rescue workers.

ROUTES OF Inhalation.
EXPOSURE:

EFFECTS OF A SINGLE (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE:

INHALATION: Asphyxiant. Effects are due to lack of oxygen. Moderate concentrations may cause
headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, excitation, excess salivation, vomiting, and
unconciousness. This product contains traces of ammonia (<0.1%) which may cause
irritation, and slight burns.

SKIN CONTACT: No evidence of adverse effects from available information.

SKIN No evidence of adverse effects from available information.
ABSORPTION:
SWALLOWING: An unlikely route of exposure, this product is a gas.

EYE CONTACT: Slight irritation at high concentrations.

EFFECTS OF REPEATED (CHRONIC) OVEREXPOSURE:

No evidence of adverse effects from available information.
OTHER EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Mixture is an asphyxiant. Lack of oxygen can cause death.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE:
Inhalation may aggravate asthma and inflammatory or fibrotic pulmonary disease. The skin irrtating properties of the
material may aggravate.
SIGNIFICANT LABORATORY DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMAN HEALTH HAZARD EVALUATION:
None currently known.

CARCINOGENICITY:
Not listed as carcinogen by OSHA, NTP or IARC.

4. First Aid Measures

INHALATION:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artifical respiration. If breathing is difficult, qualified personnel may give
oxygen. Call a physician.
SKIN CONTACT:
Wash with soap and water.
SWALLOWING:
This product is a gas at normal temperature and pressure.
EYE CONTACT:
Flush with water.

NOTES TO PHYSICIAN:
There is no specific antidote. Treatment of over-exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical
condition.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

FLAMMABLE : Yes. IF YES, UNDER WHAT See Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards.
CONDITIONS?

FLASH POINT Flammable Gas. AUTOIGNITION Not available..

(test method) TEMPERATURE

FLAMMABLE LIMITS LOWER: Varies. UPPER: Varies.

IN AIR, % by volume:

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
CO2, dry chemical, water spray or fog.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:

DANGER! Evacuate all personnel from danger area. Do not approach area without self-contained breathing apparatus
and protective clothing. Immediately cool containers with water spray form maximum distance, taking care
not to extinguish the flames. Reduce corrosive vapours with water spray or fog. Stop flow of gas if without
risk while continuing cooling water spray. Remove all containers from area of fire if without risk. Allow fire
to burn out.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD:
Flammable gas. Flame is nearly invisible. Escaping gas may ignite spontaneously. Fireball forms if gas cloud ignites
immediately after release. Before entering area, especially confined areas check with appropriate device. No part of a
container should be subjected to a temperature higher than 52C.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:

None.
SENSITIVITY TO IMPACT:
Avoid impact against container.

SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE:

Not available.

6. Accidental Release Measures

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
DANGER! Flammable, high-pressure gas. Forms explosive mixtures with air. Immediately evacaute all personnel
from danger area. Use self-contained breathing apparatus where needed. Remove all sources of ignition
if without risk. Reduce gas with fog or fine water spray. Shut off flow if without risk. Ventilate area or
move cylinder to a well-ventilated area. Flammable gas may spread from leak. Before entering area,
especially confined areas, check atmosphere with an appropriate device.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:

Prevent waste from contaminating the surrounding environment. Keep personnel away. Discard any product, residue,
disposable container, or liner in an environmentally acceptable manner, in full compliance with federal, provincial, and
local regulations. If necessary, call your local supplier for assistance.

7. Handling and Storage

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN STORAGE:
Store and use with adequate ventilation. Separate flammable cylinders from oxygen, chlorine, and other oxidizers by at
least 6.1 m or use a barricade of non-combustible material. This barricade should be at least 1.53 m high and have a
fire resistance rating of at least ½ hour. Firmly secure cylinders upright to keep them from falling or being knocked over.
Screw valve protection cap firmly in place by hand. Post "No Smoking or Open Flames" signs in storage and use areas.
There must be no sources of ignition. All electrical equipment in storage areas must be explosion-proof. Storage areas
must meet national electric codes for Class 1 hazardous areas. Store only where temperature will not exceed 52°C.
Store full and empty cylinders separately. Use a first-in, first-out inventory system to prevent storing full cylinders for
long periods.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING:
Protect cylinders from damage. Use a suitable hand truck to move cylinders; do not drag, roll, slide, or drop. Electrical
equipment must be non-sparking or explosion-proof. Leak check system with soapy water; never use a flame. Never
attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap; the cap is intended solely to protect the valve. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench,
screwdriver, pry bar) into cap openings; doing so may damage the valve and cause a leak. Use an adjustable strap
wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Open valve slowly. If valve is hard to open, discontinue use and contact
your supplier.

For additional information on storage and handling, refer to Compressed Gas Association (CGA) pamphlet P-1, Safe
Handling of Compressed Gases in Containers, available from the CGA. Refer to section 16 for the address and phone
number along with a list of other available publications.
OTHER HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS OF HANDLING, STORAGE, AND USE:
Flammable high-pressure gas. Use only in a closed system. Use piping and equipment adequately designed to
withstand pressures and temperatures to be encountered. Use only spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Keep away from heat, open flame and sparks. Gas can cause rapid suffocation due to oxygen deficiency. Store and
use with adequate ventilation. Close valve after each use; keep closed even when empty. Prevent reverse flow.
Reverse flow into cylinder may cause rupture. Use a check valve or other protective device in any line or piping from the
cylinder. Never work on a pressurized system. If there is a leak, close the cylinder valve. Blow the system down in an
environmentally safe manner in compliance with all federal, provincial, and local laws, then repair the leak. Never place
a compressed gas cylinder where it may become part of an electrical circuit.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

VENTILATION/ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
LOCAL EXHAUST: Explosion-proof system is acceptable.
MECHANICAL (general): Inadequate.
SPECIAL: Not applicable.
OTHER: Not applicable.
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
